I must say, while this attempt at ‘connecting’ frightened me, it also made me cry. Good cries. The type of crying usually only associated with suddenly being reunited with an abusive ex-lover on a low-rating day-time talk show. So, thank you Mary. (Can I just call you Mary again? I don’t know I made you change your name. Mary is magical name. Silly me.) <br /><br />Sorry about the photo. I should have explained. It’s like one of those ‘Magic Eye’ pictures where you have to go crossed-eyed first to see it. Try again. A few times. Til you get. And take a photo of you trying so I can see if you’re doing it right.<br /><br />Mary, my sweet little unicorn hoof, do you like midgets? I bought one today. It’s only 25 years old and not yet toilet trained. It keeps me up all night with its crying. Dear god. I should have just gotten a puppy or meercat instead. What was I thinking? I have named him Tina. Short for ‘Tinactin’ – my favorite brand of antifungal cream. You’ll meet him when you arrive. He needs to be on a leash, otherwise he runs away. He’s very fast. Like superhero fast. Not as fast as Superman, but faster than Batman. Somewhere in there. Anyway, that’s why I have been so busy and not able to write you back. Between toilet training Tina and gathering pairs of animals for my ark, things have been NUTSO, Mary!<br /><br />DEBBIE DOWNER ALERT! Geez Mary, way to kill the mood with what it’s like living in Russia. I get it Mary, but let’s just save these sad little accounts for our first tête-à-tête (ohhh, guess who just got ‘heart flutters’? Survey says ME!). Anyway, send me your address so I can save you and send you fun happy playthings.<br /><br />Thanks for answering my questions Mary. I now know everything I need about you to make my decision about helping you come to America. That should be a movie: “Coming to America”. It would be about you (obviously… or an African Prince…we’ll sort that out later). I’d answer your questions Mary, but again, they weren’t very good. If you think of some good ones, I will totally answer them.<br /><br />I loved the photo of you “<span style="font-weight:bold;">dancing good with bear</span>”, you’re right, “<span style="font-weight:bold;">I did see</span>”. I saw it in my dreams…and my nightmares. I love your photos Mary. You really are “<span style="font-weight:bold;">Hollywood Princess</span>”. I am sorry I ever compared you to Mickey Rourke. If anything, you’re a mix between Charlize Theron, Steve Buscemi and Tilda Swinton. HOTSKI! I do love getting your photos Mary. They touch me. In places I didn't even know existed. They touch me much like an uncle touches his 7 year old niece when they are alone.<br /><br />Anyways, gotta run, Tina just rolled in his poop and I’m still missing a pair of “White-faced Saki Monkeys’ for my ark (harder to find than you’d think)<br /><br />KISS YOU!<br />S.<br /><br />p.s. Photo of me attached. It’s a close-up of somewhere on my body! Guess Where!?!

I’ve been super busy building an Ark!<br /> <br />This is fun, right? Going by a new name? I’ll be honest with you Mary/Nataliya I was a little disappointed you didn’t choose ‘Henry’. It’s actually my all-time favorite Russian girls name. But as they say, ‘your body, your choice’.<br /> <br />That was one hell of a dream you had. It felt so real, like a typical day for me, especially when you mentioned how <span style="font-weight:bold;">“we with You walked in park and a fur-tree ice-cream”</span> – talk about déjà vu!<br /><br />So about the $950 you just so casually threw into the conversation. Sounds like you’ve taken a good long swim in Lake You and really come up with some answers. The main answer, being ME. I thought long and hard about this request Henry. (Can I call you 'Henry'? I know you picked 'Nataliya' as your new name, but 'Henry' just feels so right- like eating a bowl of oatmeal wearing angel wings, ya know?). I want the best for you. I want you to walk in parks and eat <span style="font-weight:bold;">fur-tree ice cream</span>. I want you to continue to ‘<span style="font-weight:bold;">flied somewhere in clouds’</span>. You deserve it Henry, you do.<br /> <br />Anyway, the big question is: will I help you? Let’s just say I will help you the same way mercury poisoning helped Jeremy Piven get out of that piss-weak Broadway play “Speed-the-Plow’. But first, I need you to answer some personal questions to help me justify my decision.<br /> <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">QUESTIONS TO HELP ME JUSTIFY MY DECISION:</span><br />1) Where is your nearest 7-11?<br />2) Are you allergic to any types of wood? (not including balsa)<br /><br />Weeee! okay now you ask me questions!!!!!!!<br /><br />Righto, i've got work to do - roads don't paved themselves - but as you say:<span style="font-weight:bold;"> “I look forward to hearing from you with VERY VERY VERY BIG impatience!”</span><br /><br />Your friend, <br />s.<br /><br />p.s.<br />I sent you a photo of me.

Cool story about you petting a <span style="font-weight:bold;">‘black cat with a beautiful eye’</span>. You have a magic touch when it comes to words, Mary.<br /><br />So, here’s the thing. I want to talk to you about your name. It’s not the most authentic Russian name is it? I’ve gotta be honest with you, I feel like I’m getting a little gibbed. I’ve put together a list of names. I want you to pick a couple and we’ll go from there.<br /><br />Here’s the list. My favorites have a star next to them.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">AUTHENTIC RUSSIAN NAME LIST</span> (Please choose 2)<br />Irina<br />Svetlana*<br />Anastasia<br />Olga<br />Nataliya*<br />Henry*<br />Tatiana<br /><br />Mary, you’re so sensitive. I didn’t say that I didn’t like your clothes, I just asked what was up with the denim. You do please me Mary, so no, you do not need to send me ‘sexy sexy’…at least not yet.<br /><br />So 'yay' about you coming to New York. The closest airport is JFK. I’d pick you up but I’m lazy and it’s best you learn how to get around yourself. University of Life, Mary!<br /><br />I’m loving the photo of you with all your stuffed animals. I’m so glad you still feel it’s socially acceptable to have a bedroom full of stuffed toys even though you are 27. I hope you’re not thinking of bringing all your stuffed toys to America though Mary, I’ll let you bring 3 (max.), unless you’re willing to cover their share of the rent. Then that’s a different story.<br /><br />Great questions again Mary. Clearly you think hard before crafting them.<br />I shall answer them using my usual easy-to-read template.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Do you have car?</span> Only assholes drive in NY, Mary.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Animal?</span> This is a stupid question and I refuse to answer it.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Are your gentle?</span> I have the hands of Franciscan Monk. I’ll let you touch them as soon as you arrive (I do ask that you wash your hands thoroughly though before we make contact – I don’t like germies)<br /><br />Alright, I’m gonna go clean out my closet so you have somewhere to sleep when you arrive. You’re cool with sleeping standing up, yeah?<br /><br />Love ya!<br />Your friend, S<br /><br />P.S.<br />Be safe in Moscow.

Seriously Mary your spelling is sh*thouse – no offense.<br /><br />So cool about your mom’s ‘<span style="font-weight:bold;">canary in yellow’</span> and the part about you feeding it all the time, but care factor: ZERO. Gimme some juicy gossip Mary. I’m not going to keep sending you emails if you’re just going to reply to me with stupid crap like that. Like I said: give AND take.<br /><br />Sorry to hear about your living situation. You say that times are hard because you live with your youngest sister in a 2 room apt. Well, I’m no Einstein, Mary, but that means you both have a room each. Cry me river.<br /><br />Thanks for your photo. You look much more natural in it. It seems you’re really into denim. This is the second photo you’ve seen me of you in denim. We gotta get you so new rags Mary, how about it? Perhaps I can send you money for clothing that does not resemble denim in any way whatsoever? Let’s discuss.<br /><br />I see you put questions for me in your email. I’ll do my best to answer them honestly.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">do you like strong drinks too much?</span> Duh, is the Pope Catholic<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">can you be very drunk?</span> Totally!<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">very ofthen?</span> Uh, YA.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">can you be rude with women? </span>I try my hardest.<br /><br />Now answer my questions Mary:<br />Do you like carrots? <br />How often do you brush your teeth?<br />Last furry thing you touched?<br /><br /><br />Ok, gotta run.<br /><br />(And I’m not going to tell you again Mary, stop with the ‘kiss you’. NOT COOL.)<br /><br />Your friend,<br />s.Peggy Foldernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3502756960677711600.post-67125947129873299582010-01-18T15:55:00.000-08:002010-01-18T15:58:44.349-08:00REPLY FROM MARY #2<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Vh2bBlQfEqg/S1T1RTS0blI/AAAAAAAAAGU/NzzaFXTMqi8/s1600-h/scammer829_3.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 119px; height: 181px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Vh2bBlQfEqg/S1T1RTS0blI/AAAAAAAAAGU/NzzaFXTMqi8/s320/scammer829_3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428233128474078802" /></a><br />To: S<br />From: Mary<br />Date: 01/18/2010 06:56PM<br />Subject: RE: RE: RE: RE: Tell me many kind words dear.<br /><br />Hello my dear, thank you for your answer! <br /><br />At first I think I have to say that I am new in internet and I have only good intentions. you should know that I am not very good writer in english, please be patient to read my messages and see many mistakes. <br /><br />I answers your questions now.

This is a 'give and take' relationship, and right now, I just feel as if you are 'taking'. Perhaps it is a Russian thing, I dunno.<br /><br />Thank you for your photo though. You say your are <span style="font-weight:bold;">'no Hollywood Princess'</span>, but I beg to differ. Clearly, you are too hard on yourself. Are you comparing yourself to the likes of Angelina Jolie? Then you are right, you are no 'Hollywood Princess'. Perhaps you should compare yourself to Renee Zellweger. Or Mickey Rourke. Anyway, I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but that photo didn't seem real. I insist you send another. Try not to make the next photo too 'posey-posey'. Know what I mean?<br /><br />Also, you weren't much help with the crossword. If you didn't know the answer you should have just said so. There was no need to ignore it completely. But we can work on that. We're only just getting to know each other, so i'll let it slip this time.<br /><br />Do you like falconry? There's nothing more majestic than a bird of prey as far as i'm concerned. What's your favorite bird of prey, Mary? Let's compare.<br /><br />Ok, that's all for now. Write back soon Mary.<br />(and don't put 'kiss you' in your next email, it's awkward. I hardly know you.

It makes me feel like Bambi. Like a young doe prancing through a lush green forrest. Have you ever seen that movie? It's pretty good. Better than Snow White if you ask me. Do you have deer in Russian? I hope you do, if not that will be the first thing I show you when you come to America.<br /><br />So, I have many kind words for you. Did you just want singular kind words? Or kind words that make up a sentence? I guess i'll just do single words for starters:<br /><br />KIND WORDS (SINGULAR)<br />Inspiring<br />lovely<br />special<br />beautiful<br />unassuming<br /><br />Are those enough kind words? I hope so. I wasn't sure what your idea of 'many' was.<br /><br />Your dream is to live abroad, huh? That's exciting. It's good to dream. Tell me all your dreams? <br /><br />In your email you ask: <span style="font-weight:bold;">'Can we get started?'</span><br />Of course we can Mary. But get started with what? Today I started the crossword in New York Magazine, perhaps you can help me finish it? If you would prefer to start something together we can, I just thought that since I have already started this, you could just help me finish it:<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Clue: Harrier, for one. (6 letters)</span><br /><br />Ok, I must go now Mary, but i look forward to you reply. I think this could be the start of something amazing!!!<br /><br />Yours sincerely<br />S.Peggy Foldernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3502756960677711600.post-13369448370908713202010-01-18T11:32:00.000-08:002010-01-18T13:08:26.882-08:00The beginningHave you ever received an email from someone you don't know? Today I found that email in my SPAM folder of all places?! What the?<br /><br />It was from a woman in Russia, named Mary. I like to scan my SPAM folder just in case something important makes it in there by mistake. That's how I found this little gem. Tucked away in between offers for up to 80% off Viagra and penis enlargement pills, was an email entitled:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Tell me many kind words dear. </span> <br /><br />Now, I haven't been called 'dear' since my grandmother passed away in 1991, so naturally I was drawn to this email. I clicked on it and found the following magical message:<br /><br />From: Mary <xxxxxx@gmail.com><br />Date: Mon, Jan 18, 2010 at 2:44 AM<br />Subject: Tell me many kind words dear.<br />To: xxxxx@gmail.com<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Hi, I'm from Russia - a dream to live abroad, my name is Mary, can we get started?<br />"I'm on this dating site - come in to me.</span><br /><br />Immediately, I was intrigued. 'Can we get started?' Get started with what? A game of 'Hungry, hungry hippos'? Lunch? Building a utopian society? A family? There were so many things Mary and I could get started with.<br /><br />But the line that really caught my attention was 'Come in to me'. <br />Did she mean 'come to me'? I just don't know. But those 4 words told me that Mary needed help.<br /><br />So there was only one thing I could do. I had to respond to Mary's plea.Peggy Foldernoreply@blogger.com0
